Thursday night at The Fox Town Annex in Mequon. I thought we were sloppy. It hasn't been announced but I think our drummer dumped us. He's turned down 8 summer bookings. Great drummer and singer but apparently isn't into us. I was really good about chatting at tables with the punters. I had put a few scripts together that worked very well. Good crowd and a lot of dancing. I guess people are easy to please. I'm starting to question the direction of the band. But where could I find another money making band at 72 years old? Daryl

Me too. Daryl

Me too. Daryl

The band sounds great and the lighting is very nice. Daryl

Sounds like a good gig Dave. I've got my first 2026 gig Thursday night at The Fox Town in Mequon. It'll be a half hour commute. I'm not sure if I'm driving or riding in the van. It's an upscale bar / restaurant that does a fantastic job with local bands. Nice room with a very nice stage. We'll be providing our own sound. We'll bring minimal lighting and smoke. The place has a built in crowd. This is our second gig there. Last time the place was packed. Daryl

I have a few pics in a dress. But none are good enough to post. Lol 😆 Daryl

Agreed. What a cool opportunity Daryl

Great information, even if it is over my head. I'm way out of date. I just dial in a low stage volume and enough high and low end I can hear. Then I just hope the sound engineer has me where I'm supposed to be. Daryl

Great crowd photo and I love the way they band is lit up. Daryl

I am not posting the image of me in a dress.lol Daryl

I think the way I'm looking at it like this. First, maybe it depends on the image and how it's used. 2nd, I look at like this. A lot of us use cool lighting and smoke machines because it makes the band look good. AI depending on how it's used is just another marketing tool. I don't think we can fool anyone. I never look like this. Lol Daryl

Hi Dave, I'm interested in everyone's opinion. Is it ok to use AI images to promote your bands gigs? Daryl

My last gig was NYE. We don't have a gig until February 19. It will be my first gig at age 72. This stretch of no gigs is driving me crazy. Daryl

Nice crowd! Daryl

The room looks packed. Nice Daryl
